Meet our Makers
Glasgow-based textile designer Rosana Expósito creates knitwear and accessories using natural fibres and surplus materials from the British textile industry, producing thoughtful pieces in small quantities.
Basket maker Anna Liebmann works from her workshop in Portobello, just outside Edinburgh, creating beautifully crafted baskets from willow. Strong, thoughtful and made slowly by hand, her pieces have a solidity that feels worlds away from the throwaway baskets found on the high street.
Ceramicist Chris Viviani, the maker behind Clod & Pebble, creates quietly beautiful pottery from his studio on a farm in the hills of Ayrshire. His work balances raw, functional earthiness with a pared-back refinement, each piece thrown and finished by hand using carefully sourced materials.
Inside the House of Cheviot factory in Hawick, knitting machines produce long woollen tubes that wriggle out like snakes before passing through the hands of skilled makers who check and finish every pair.
Lochcarron of Scotland is one of the country’s best known textile makers, weaving tartan and woollen cloth in the Scottish Borders. With generations of experience behind them, the mill continues a long tradition of producing beautifully made Scottish textiles.
Johnstons of Elgin has been producing fine woollens and cashmere in Scotland since 1797. With mills in both Elgin and Hawick, generations of skilled workers continue a long tradition of textile making, creating beautifully made knitwear and cashmere accessories.
